I,m looking for a pressure tank for stabiling wood.Does antone have a suggestion. Kevin


Have heard others mention Harbor Freight, can't speak from experience. I got mine years ago at Sears.

Are you trying to pressure treat your wood like the commercial lumber treaters do? I have never seen a small autoclave for this purpose. I suppose that you could adapt a big pressure cooker to this purpose. I once had a 10 qt. canner with wing nuts around the rim that I got at an estate sale in rural Okla.

What kind of a solution are you trying to push into the wood? The CCA and Copper-quat big boys use special alloys as the solution is acidic.

That's what I have setup. There is an article over at the Pen Turners web-forum explaining how to do it.
